Yom Kippur

Kol Nidre: Wednesday, October 1
Yom Kippur: Thursday, October 2

G'mar chatima tovah
May you be sealed in the book of life
 

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Yom Kippur is our holiest day of the year, a time in which we collectively and individually note where we've gone off course. It is the day in which the Book of Life is sealed for the coming year, and we begin the year ahead with a clean slate. Following the evening Ne’ilah services, we warmly invite everyone to join our intergenerational tradition of breaking the fast together—a meaningful and joyful way to conclude this sacred day. Unless otherwise noted, services will be offered both in person and online.

IMPORTANT RITUALS:

Yizkor: Yizkor (“Remember”) carves out moments in time for us to remember those who we have lost. Two of these Yizkor services occur during the High Holy Days (one on Yom Kippur, and one on Shemini Atzeret), at which time we will collectively lift up the memories of loved ones who have died.

Ne'ilah: Ne'ilah is the concluding service of Yom Kippur, when the final prayers are recited prior to the break fast. 

*For Families: If you are unable to join us for the Yom Kippur afternoon services, please join us at Ne'Ilah so your children can blow the shofar and participate in a beautiful havdalah ritual with music, candles and spices, prior to breaking the fast as a community.
